In whom to invest time and money?

One worker went to the master and said:
- Barin! Why are you paying me only five kopecks, and Ivan is always five rubles?
Barin looks out the window and says:
- I see someone riding. It seems to be hay passing us. Come on, look.
A worker came out. Came in again and says:
- True, sir. Like hay.
- Do not you know where? Maybe from Semenov meadows?
- I do not know.
- Go and find out.
I went to the employee. Enters again.
- Barin! Similarly, with Semenovskih.
- And you do not know, the hay of the first or second crop?
- I do not know.
- So go, find out!
A worker came out. Come back again.
- Barin! First cut!
- Don't you know what?
- I do not know.
- So go, find out.
I went. Returned and said:
- Barin! Five rubles each.
- And do not give cheaper?
- I do not know.
At this moment Ivan enters and says:
- Barin! Hay was carried past from the Semenovsky meadows of the first cut. They asked for 5 rubles. Bargained for 3 rubles for a cart. I drove them into the yard, and they unload there.
Barin addresses the first employee and says:
- Now you understand why you are paid 5 kopecks, and Ivan 5 rubles?

The analogy with this profound narrative is probably understandable. A good worker and a quality team are expensive and require some investment.
